ExpertTM Level Transmitter model 1400
1: Mount a suitable hook over the desired
measuring location. Note the weight of the
cable.
2: Lower the ExpertTM Level Transmitter
into the liquid.
ExpertTM Level Transmitter model 3400
1: Mount a suitable hook over the desired
measuring location. Note the weight of the
cable.
2: Lower the ExpertTM Level
Transmitter into the liquid.
3: If the ExpertTM Level
Transmitter is to be used in
a wetwell or other locations
with turbulence or other
disturbance, it is advis-
able to install a pipe (min.
nominal diameter = 75 mm)
to protect the ExpertTM Level
Transmitter from bumping
into the wall or other com-
ponents.
Take care not to hit the
bottom hard since it may
damage the ExpertTM Level
Transmitter!
It is very important that mini-
mum 25 mm of the ExpertTM
Level Transmitter is not
covered by the pipe!

Introduction
Thank you for choosing ExpertTM Level Transmitter.
We have done everything possible to make an
ExpertTM Level Transmitter that can fulfil all your
demands.
ExpertTM Level Transmitter is suitable for all kinds
of level measurements. It can control and supervise
levels in wells and tanks - including aggressive and
polluted media.
The ExpertTM Level Transmitter is both easy to in-
stall and put into service, but read this manual first
- then you will benefit the most from the ExpertTM
Level Transmitter right from the beginning.
You can always contact your representative or the
MJK Service Hotline for advice and guidance. Also,

On the model ExpertTM 1400 Level Transmitters,
the pressure ranges together with the corre-
sponding part numbers are laser engraved on the
transmitter housing.
For all versions, the pressure range is indicated on
the transmitter.
On the model ExpertTM 3400 Level Transmitters,
the pressure ranges together with the corre-
sponding part numbers are laser engraved on the
transmitter housing.

Safety instructions
1: Read this manual carefully.
2: Be aware of the environment on the installation
site. Wear necessary protective equipment and follow
all current safety regulations.
3: Do not operate the equipment outside the speci-
fied electrical, thermal and mechanical parameters
(see datasheet). Install the device only in media for
which the wetted materials have sufficient durabil-
ity. (See datasheet for housing material.)
Max. supply voltage is 30 VDC.
4: Do not connect or use any programming inter-
face/equipment while the ExpertTM Level Transmitter
is located in an explosion hazardous environment.
Hazardous areas
1: All current local and national standards, regula-
tions regarding installation and use of Ex or hazard-
ous zone approved equipment, certifications and
safety instructions for Ex equipment that have been
used together with the installation of the ExpertTM
1400 and 3400 Level Transmitter must be strictly
observed.
2: The use of an approved zener barrier or isolator
is mandatory when installing Expert™ 1400 and
3400 Level Transmitter in explosion hazardous
areas.
Repair
1: Repair of Ex approved equipment must only be
done by MJK or by a service representative ap-
proved by MJK.

Designation of wires, cutting & stripping the cable
The factory delivered cable has the wires marked
with the numbers 1 - 2 - 3. If the cable needs to
be cutted and stripped, the shield should be con-
nected as the no. 3 wire.
Do NOT connect any of the colored program-
ming wires as it may damage the transmitter. The
programming wires should be cut off in different
lengths to prevent them from short circuit➁.
Take care not to block or squeeze the air pressure
compensation tube ➄.

2) Do not connect a programming unit
to the ExpertTM Level Transmitter or make
any attempt to program the ExpertTM Level
Transmitter while it is located in an explo-
sion hazardous zone!
1) If the cable is extended, the complete
capacity and self-induction cannot exceed
the maximum specifications. For UL or Ex
approved mounting, see control drawing on
the next page.

Cable length vs. supply voltage
The cable can be lengthened with any type of
cable➀. Although the measuring signal is not sen-
sitive to electrical noise, we recommend the use of
a screened cable.
Ensure that no moisture can enter the pressure
compensation tube inside the cable.
